Leonard: My Fifty-Year Friendship with a Remarkable Man

Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner first crossed paths as actors on the set of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Little did they know that their next roles, in a new science-fiction television series, would shape their lives in ways no one could have anticipated. In 79 television episodes and six feature films, they grew to know each other more than most friends could ever imagine. Over the course of half a century, Shatner and Nimoy saw each other through personal and professional highs and lows.

Jeremy Stone says:"Shatner brings to life an amazing tale about a talented, hardworking man!"

Audible Editor Reviews

Abigail Pogrebin begins with a fitting introduction: "We’re going to jump around because I think that’s what Jewish identity is about." Indeed, each of these famous Jews has a unique story to tell. To self-deprecating laughter, Seinfeld's Jason Alexander opines an early-life mandate from his mother, "You will go to Hebrew School to learn what it is to be a Jew - to suffer!" Conversely, Kyra Sedgwick didn’t practice Judaism as a child: It was not until she acted in Fiddler on the Roof, then visited Auschwitz, that she began to take interest in her heritage. Meanwhile, Leonard Nimoy reminisces over his childhood in a Yiddish speaking community, recalling how he learned his signature "live long and propsper" salute from the elderly patrons of his temple.

Publisher's Summary

Some of America's most prominent Jewish entertainers talk about their Jewish identity (or lack of one) in a panel discussion at New York's 92nd Street Y. Speakers include Jason Alexander, Leonard Nimoy, and Kyra Sedgwick. These are just some of the personalities featured in the new book Stars of David: Prominent Jews Talk About Being Jewish by Abigail Pogrebin.

This discussion was so personal, honest, and thought provoking. The candid and sincere attitude that these people had in discussing faith was refreshing and inspiring. I am not a Jew, and I was able to learn and understand some things, get a good range of understanding, and connect with these people as individuals and as a Jewish community. I really appreciate this production. Thank you so much.

Loved listening to the people on the panel, especially Leonard Nimoy and Jason Alexander...thoughtful, articulate, funny, touching. How lovely that someone in the audience knew Nimoy's barber dad. I liked hearng Kyra Sedgewick, also. Very different upbringing and perceptions than the guys. Only thing I didn't like: one of the women had a maniacal giggle, which invaded the discussion.
